You well with in your right to flog this bike on. What you are not within your right to do is flog it on as a 'track' bike when it patently is not a track bike. Your ad on e-bay omitted the fact that this bike is a conversion and it showed no clear photographs of the aforementioned 'dodgy ends'. It is customary but not obligatory on ebay to highlight any faults that a bike may have. New to ebay you may not of have known this. However when you state the fact that you "didn't think I would be selling this as a complete bike to the type of person who's on LGFSS... the majority of whom are (I'm assuming based on what I've read) knowldegable, opinionated, individuals to sell to a buyer neither knowledgable nor opinionated" it rather suggests that you were hoping for a buyer who knows even less about track bikes than you! Perhaps someone who would not know a dodgy conversion when they saw one. I am happy to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not down right dishonest but sunshine please spare us the bleedin lectures.
No one is picking on you stick around you might learn a thing or two.
